Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种芯片结构及其形成方法,特别是一种可抗应力的芯片结构及其形成方法。The invention relates to a chip structure and its forming method, in particular to a stress-resistant chip structure and its forming method.
背景技术Background technique
请分别参考图1A至图1G,图1A至图1G表示传统形成芯片结构的示意图。形成芯片结构需经过以下流程。首先如图1A所示,在基底101上形成第一保护层103,并露出一焊垫105。接着,在第一保护层103上形成一第二保护层107,并利用曝光显影的方式在109上形成一保护层开口。接着,如图1C所示,在第一保护层103上沉积凸块下金属层111(Under Bump Metallurgylayer,UBM),并进行凸块下金属层111的布图工艺。如图1D所示,在凸块下金属层111上更形成一第一光阻层113。然后,如图1E所示,蚀刻凸块下金属层111,并移除第一光阻层113。再来请参考图1F,在第二保护层107上形成一第二光阻层118,并在保护层开口109中填充导电材料119(例如锡膏)。最后,如图1G所示,回焊(Reflow)导电材料119以形成导电凸块123并去除第二光阻层118,从而形成芯片结构100。Please refer to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1G , respectively. FIG. 1A to FIG. 1G are schematic diagrams of conventionally formed chip structures. Forming the chip structure requires the following processes. First, as shown in FIG. 1A , a
当完成芯片结构100后,必须对芯片结构100进行可靠度的测试(Reliability test)。测试项目例如,温度、压力及机械性质的变化,而且必须周期且反复的进行测试。然而,目前测试的结果中常会出现在芯片结构100中,导电凸块123和凸块下金属层111,或是凸块下金属层111与焊垫105之间常常会有脱离的现象。追究原因,其实是因为导电凸块123、凸块下金属层111以及焊垫105的膨胀系数不同所致。当三者膨胀系数不同时,容易产生应力来分离导电凸块123、凸块下金属层111及焊垫105。也就是说,许多的传统芯片结构100中,导电凸块123、凸块下金属层111及焊垫105间,彼此的黏着力不足以抵挡可靠度测试中温度、压力及机械性质变化所产生的分离应力。也因此降低了产品的可靠度及竞争力。After the

具体实施方式Detailed ways
请参考图2A至图2H以及图4,图2A至图2F分别表示形成芯片结构的流程示意图,图4表示形成芯片结构的流程图。如图2A所示,首先为步骤301,在基底201(Wafer)上形成第一保护层203(passivation layer),并露出焊垫205(Pad)。焊垫205的材料通常是铝或铜,由此与外部电路形成电性连接。第一保护层203用于保护基底201并平坦化表面。接下来步骤303,如图2B所示,在第一保护层203上进一步形成一第二保护层207,并在第二保护层207上形成一保护层开口209。保护层开口209底部的宽度b1大于保护层开口209顶部的宽度b2,从而形成一底切(Undercut)。第二保护层207的材料例如为感光聚酰亚胺(photosensitive polyimide),可用于达到吸收应力(Stress Buffer)及缓冲应力的效果。然后步骤305如图2C所示,在第二保护层207及焊垫205上沉积凸块下金属层211(Under Bump Metallurgy layer,UBM layer)。由于保护层开口209具有底切,因此当沉积凸块下金属层211时,第二保护层207上的凸块下金属层211不会连接至焊垫205上的凸块下金属层211。凸块下金属层211通常由一黏着层(adhesion layer)、阻障层(barrier layer)与一润湿层所组成(粘着层、阻障层及润湿层未显示在图中)。黏着层可以为焊垫205及第一保护层203提供良好的黏着性,其材料可为铝、钛、铬、钨化钛等。阻障层用于防止导电凸块223(绘示于第2H图中)与焊垫205的金属互相扩散,其材料可为镍钒、镍等。润湿层向凸块下金属层211与导电凸块223之间提供良好的粘附性,其材料可为铜、钼、铂。Please refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2H and FIG. 4 , FIG. 2A to FIG. 2F are respectively schematic flowcharts of forming a chip structure, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of forming a chip structure. As shown in FIG. 2A , firstly,
接下来是步骤307,请参考图2D,在凸块下金属层211上形成一第一光阻层213,并图案化第一光阻层213。然后为步骤309,请参考图2E对部分的凸块下金属层211进行蚀刻,并移除第一光阻层213。接着步骤311,形成一第二光阻层218,并图案化第二光阻层218,使第二光阻层218具有一光阻层开口240。然后步骤313,在光阻层开口240内填充导电材料244,导电材料244例如为锡膏。而填充的方式较佳为以印刷方式填入到光阻层开口240内。最后,步骤315中回焊导电材料244以形成一导电凸块223,并移除第二光阻层218,而成为芯片结构200。Next is
如图2H所示,在芯片结构200中由于保护层开口209底部宽度b1大于顶部宽度b2,使保护层开口209的截面大致呈梯型。因此在芯片结构200中,导电凸块223的底部被锚定在保护层开口209内。当芯片结构200进行可靠度测试时,梯形状的保护层开口209可以增加导电凸块223抗应力的能力(应力是由不同的温度压力及机械性质变化所产生)。以下将说明,如何形成梯形状的保护层开口209。形成方式可透过下列几种,包括:第一种是以调整曝光机焦距的方式。第二种是采用过度显影的方式。As shown in FIG. 2H , in the
请参考图3,图3为第二保护层形成底切的示意图。在形成每一个保护层开口209时,通过调整曝光机,使光线经过光罩239,曝光时光线射入第二保护层207,光线焦点237位于第二保护层207的上方,并在底部形成一锐角θ,再经过显影去除部分的第二保护层207,使每个保护层开口209形成下部大上部小的梯形状。另外,第二种方式通过光线照在第二保护层207上方,第二保护层207所吸收光线的能量较高,因此通过显影时间的增加,第二保护层207底部被移除的量大于顶部,因而可以形成底切(Undercut)形状。Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic diagram of forming an undercut in the second protection layer. When forming each
本发明上述实施例所揭露的芯片结构,保护层开口的底部宽度大于顶部宽度,可协助第二保护层夹持住导电凸块,防止导电凸块脱落离开焊垫及凸块下金属层。因此,以增加芯片结构的可靠度及提升芯片结构的抗应力值。In the chip structure disclosed in the above embodiments of the present invention, the bottom width of the protective layer opening is larger than the top width, which can assist the second protective layer to clamp the conductive bump and prevent the conductive bump from falling off the pad and the UBM layer. Therefore, to increase the reliability of the chip structure and improve the anti-stress value of the chip structure.
以上所述仅为本发明其中的较佳实施例而已,并非用来限定本发明的实施范围;即凡依本发明权利要求所作的均等变化与修饰,皆为本发明专利范围所涵盖。The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation scope of the present invention; that is, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims of the present invention are covered by the patent scope of the present invention.
